Soft close frunk, which the ‘24 addresses. Lastly, super nitpicky, swap the volume control with the channel control on the steering wheel.

but there are definitely some things I don't enjoy about my car in particular. Some of these might be nitpicks,but they're still things that annoy me.

For reference I have a yellow 1LT convertible

1. The yellow attacts a ridiculous amount of bugs compared to other cars. I never knew this going into getting a yellow car, but apparently it's a well known fact yellow attracts the most bugs, and it's definitely been noticeable for me compared to my previous black and white cars. I live and park on the 5th floor of an apartment building in the middle of a city, and every single morning my car has way more bugs resting on it than other cars. Usually there's grasshoppers and I don't even know how grasshoppers get up to the 5th floor.

2. There are no bottom screw holes for the license plate. This is just a dumb decision by GM. I don't want my license plate flapping about when i'm driving. There should absolutely be two bottom screw holes.

3. No pause/play button on the steering wheel. This isn't the biggest issue, but still something that annoys me that I wish was there.

4. The rear view mirror is halfway blocked by the car. I don't know how GM could fix this, but come on..half the mirror is completely useless. And please don't anyone say use the camera, I literally can't use the camera when the top is down.

5. Rear window doesn't roll all the way down. Why it doesn't roll all the way down..I have no idea..would be nice if it did though. Instead I have to live with this useless 70th anniversary text partially obstucting my rear view whenever I use the mirror.

6. The door doesn't automatically unlock when you try to open it if the car is in drive..I've never had a car where the open door button doesn't work like this. Very annoying. There should at least be a option to change the way it works in the settings.

7. The infotainment screen is small and has ridiculous bezels. Why would GM design it like this? There's nearly a 2 inch useless border around the entire thing. Every company has been trying to get bezels as small as possible for the past few years, and Corvette just does the opposite. It looks bad and it makes the screen look tiny. The very first thing my fiancee said when she got in the car was that the screen was small.

8. Parking Break location. I just think it's in a bad spot. I don't really use it anyway so it's not a big deal.

9. The sun visor is difficult to open from the middle. This might be convertible specific, but you basically can't open the visor from the center, unless you have super tiny fingers that fit into the groove and you have to use the sides of the visor instead. Every other car i've been in this was a non-issue, but GM suddenly made it a problem on the C8.

10. The sun visor cannot close if the mirror is open. Again this might be convertible specific, but you literally can't close the visor because of the angle if the mirror was opened. I've never had a car where the visior couldn't easily be closed even if the mirror was opened. Designing it like this was just stupid.

iPhone 14 Pro must be removed from case to fit down far enough to charge. A Max would never fit. Hideously awkward location for any occupants of the video.

Should have been a wireless charger in the small center console (hinged lidded console between cup holders and waterfall) where it could actually be reached by an occupant. The waterfall should be a stowage compartment with a hinged lid color matched to the exterior, it would be great for stowage.

I have to start the car, unplug the USB, and then plug it back in. Not a big deal, but for an IT guy with some programming experience this is just silly and tells me that there are no music lovers doing the programming or the QA.

There is 1 thing I hate about a lot of cars including this one. The sun visor is worthless for the side window. It slides back about 2 inches and leaves about 8 inches of side window exposed. I have done everything from buy stick on window visors to rubberband a piece of cardboard to the existing visor. Of course, that's only on my Nissan Altima. I would laugh my *** off if I saw someone do that on a vette. You gotta look cool and cardobard and rubberbands don't look cool.
